Yoshii Akihisa

That Night

Akihisa looked up at the poster on her wall, a simple picture of Hideyoshi in his day-to-day uniform. Even though it was such a simple picture, it still held a space in Akihisa's heart... but no, it had held a place in her heart. Now, it had been replaced by her love for Minami, and she would clean her heart of such... perverted memories or memories that lingered on her love for Hideyoshi.

She neatly rolled the poster up before placing it into the box that was filled with other posters and numerous pictures of Hideyoshi, some of which revealed an amount of bare skin or had him dressed up as a girl. There were even many of him going through his daily life at school and even some of him at home (she wondered how Kouta had gotten those). She remembered not only selling most of her remaining video games and manga to buy such pictures, but also all of her remaining magazines (even her six big-breasted ponytail volumes).

Akihisa resisted the urge to start looking through them, not wanting to feel the strange feeling she usually got when she looked at them. Even though her love for him was out of her heart, Hideyoshi is still a very beautiful person with a very beautiful body. Taking a deep breath, she continued taking down the remaining posters in her room and placing them in the box.

She would finally be getting rid of all of them, every single last poster and picture. She had thought of throwing them away or burning them, but there was just no way she could do that to pictures of Hideyoshi. She had thought of returning them to Kouta and seeing if she could get a refund, but that ninja pervert would just resell such treasures to other perverts.

So, why not give them to someone who would really appreciate them?

That person, of course, would be Yuuko.


Kinoshita Yuuko

Yuuko, as usual, was reading one of her shounen-ai manga on the couch. However, what was different this time from other times, is that her head was resting in Hideyoshi's lap as he ran his hand through her hair, practically petting her. Now, if she just thought of him as a brother like so long ago, he would probably be crying out in pain instead of petting her. But with her feelings for him different, she was actually enjoying it.

But she still wondered why he was petting her. "Hideyoshi," She began, shifting her eyes away from the manga and into Hideyoshi's own, "why are you petting me?" She didn't mind it at all, she was just wondering.

Hideyoshi, fortunately, didn't stop petting her. Instead, he blushed, giving her a soft smile as he continued to run his hand through her hair. "Your hair feels nice, sis."

Her cheeks began to redden. "We have the same hair." Yuuko told him, slightly averting her eyes away from him.

"I know, but I like yours so much because... it's yours."

"Idiot." She simply told him as she set down her manga, her hand going to grab her brother's shirt and forcefully dragged him down to where she raised up her head and kissed him on the lips. His hand was off of her hair, seeing it was now on the cushion next to him as he kept his balance.

The kiss lasted several seconds before she broke away from him, allowing him to catch his breath. "You're cute when you're embarrassed, dearest brother." She told him, smiling at his red face as she laid her head back down on Hideyoshi's lap. It wasn't long before she was sitting all the way up, her own face going as red as Hideyoshi's. "Idiot." She muttered.

"S-sorry..." Hideyoshi said, looking away from her as his legs fidgeted.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you're an idiot?" Yuuko asked, leaning forward to where her nose was almost touching Hideyoshi's cheeks. As he was turning his eyes back onto her, she gave him a light kiss on the cheek, smiling as she leaned back. "Let's continue later, I want to finish this manga."

"Y-yeah..." Hideyoshi said.

A couple of minutes passed between them, Yuuko getting into reading as Hideyoshi calmed himself down with deep breaths, before Hideyoshi spoke up. "Hey, sis..."

"Yeah?" Yuuko asked, her nose practically right in her manga as she read where the main character was confessing his love to his little brother.

"It's... been awhile since I've had some of your cooking..." He told her, looking away as his cheeks reddened. "I was wondering... if you could make tomorrow's dinner... just this once..." Hideyoshi continued on, his voice growing softer after each pause.

It's been awhile since she herself has had some of her own cooking, seeing as she has had Hideyoshi do all the cooking ever since their parents moved out. So why not? But still, to just accept his request so easily... it isn't really like her at all. "On one condition, my Hideyoshi." The choice of 'my' and his name together instantly raised his suspicion and fright; she could clearly see both reflected in his eyes.

Oh how she loved tormenting her brother.

"W-what is it, s-sis?" Hideyoshi asked in a slightly frightful tone.

Yuuko leaned forward, a sadistic smile on her face. "I want you dressed up as a girl tonight." Her request came from her want of embarrassing Hideyoshi even further, seeing how he became so adorably cute when his face was red up to the tips of his ears. Besides, it sounded appealing to her to see him dressed up as a girl as she did anything she wanted to him.

"S-sis..." Hideyoshi began, backing up on the couch as he held a hand over his chest for whatever reason, "y-you... pervert." He told her with a blank look on his red face.

"What did you call me?" She innocently asked with a smile on her face while holding up her fist.

"A-alright sis, I-I'll do it!" He cried out, holding both of his hands out in front of him in self-defense.

Before she could tell him, "thank you" the doorbell rang. Seeing as she was just in her night-shirt and panties, Yuuko jumped off of the couch and went running to get some clothes on, yelling back at Hideyoshi for him to get the door as she raced up the stairs.

"This is why you shouldn't go around the house with just your panties on." She barely heard Hideyoshi say to himself.


Yoshii Akihisa

Akihisa stood outside the Kinoshita home's door, the box in her hands as she waited for one of the twins to open the door. It wasn't long until Hideyoshi showed up at the door, blinking upon the unexpected sight of her. "Akihisa?" He asked before looking down at the box she was carrying. "What brings you here?"

Akihisa blushed, looking down at the box quickly before looking back at Hideyoshi. It was kind of making her nervous that she was standing in front of him with an entire box full of pictures and posters of him. There was no way she could hand it over to him and risk him opening it. "H-Hideyoshi, I, well... I came over to speak with your sister, is she home?" She asked, hoping to divert any attention he may have on the box away from it.

"Yeah, she'll be done in a minute." He told her, looking over his shoulder into the house.

"Hey, Hideyoshi," Akihisa began, catching his attention, "how are things going with her?"

Hideyoshi was silent for a few moments, looking in her eyes with a glint of hesitancy in his own. However, after a moment, that glint disappeared completely. "Everything is wonderful, Akihisa. I'm happy, very happy."

Akihisa gave him a nod before deciding on giving him a big smile. "That's good, Hideyoshi."

"Who is it?" Yuuko's voice came from behind Hideyoshi who promptly moved over to allow her to stand with him in the doorway. "Yoshii?" She asked, looking at Hideyoshi for a moment, her brother giving her a smile before heading back into the house. Yuuko then looked at Akihisa, understanding now in her eyes. "You want to speak to me?" She asked, not waiting for an answer as she stepped out of the house, closing the door behind her.

"I... have something I wanted to give you, since... you have Hideyoshi, now." Akihisa told her, softly smiling. "Thank of it as a... um... well, they're all in here." She told Yuuko, holding out the box to her. "I-it's just all stuff that I accumulated during the I loved Hideyoshi..."

Yuuko, with a slightly confused expression on her face, took the box and set it down, opening it with ease despite the tape holding it closed. "These are..." She began, her voice trailing off, her cheeks reddening as she looked at the contents.

"I wanted to get rid of them. So, I thought, since they're pictures of your brother... who you love... that it'd be best to give them to you..." Akihisa told Yuuko, her eyes slightly averted away from the girl who was looking in the box that contained her past treasures.

Yuuko stood up, looking over at Akihisa and then back to the box. "Yoshii," She said, drawing the girl's eyes back onto her, "thanks."

"It's nothing," Akihisa told her, turning her back on her as she prepared to leave, "that's all I came over for, so see you around, Yuuko."

"Wait, Yoshii!" Yuuko called out to her, grabbing her arm from behind to prevent her from going any farther. "Take... take this." She placed something in Akihisa's hand, closing it around the objects before breaking away from her. "Think of it as a thank you." She picked the box up, opened the door, and went inside. "See you." The door closed behind her.

Akihisa blinked, looking at the closed door behind her before looking down at her hand, opening it up to see what Yuuko had given her.

The familiar sight of yen met Akihisa's eyes.
